Vehicle Description
Classic style, full utility, and plenty of comfort come together in
this 1979 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado. After all, you get a
three-row SUV with everything from a 4x4 drivetrain to a cold A/C
interior. It even was built with the extra-duty Trailering Special
upgrades. Where was this truck from originally? Greensboro, NC,
just a short, couple hour drive from our showroom. We know this
because the current owner states they purchased it from the
original. So when this much appeal is in an exceptional preserved
low-mileage package, it's time to pay attention.
This SUV is nothing but straight body lines, and horizontal
brightwork, so this high-quality presentation is essential. The
Colonial Yellow and Santa Fe Tan is a great color combo when you
want a vehicle that's both vintage and dignified. In fact, the
majority of this shows to be the original application. That's what
you get on a car that has gone less than 28k miles in its lifetime.
Oh yes, while many Suburbans have been used up in the daily grind,
this is a rare opportunity at true vintage cool that retains a ton
of ability. That's why you have the tall 4x4 stance, wide tow
mirrors, and proper trailer hitch on this verified Trailering
Special. So we bet you can already imagine the attention this
classic and capable Suburban will get when it shows up everywhere
from the campsite to the boat ramp.
Inside is where you can see even more care that has gone into
keeping this Suburban looking its best. Three rows of wide benches
mean seating for up to nine! And these have a comfy velour
upholstery that looks great, right down to the button-top
presentation. This can carry the full family and friends all at
once, and still leave room for cargo. But the preserved look of the
door panels, carpeting, dash, headliner, and more don't show any
signs of a high-traffic life in this low-mileage classic. Instead,
it's a time capsule-like atmosphere, right down to the premium
Silverado western-style pattern in the door panels. Even as true
classic, this was built to keep the driver comfortable over the
long haul. The tilt steering column gives a clear view to the gauge
panel that wraps around you. So it's an easy reach to desirable
features like cruise control and the factory air conditioning (now
running modern R134a.) This also has handy features on the dash for
functions like the power rear window and rear A/C controls. There's
even a classic Kelsey Hayes trailer brake control.
Just like the rest of the SUV, when you lift the hood it looks
correct and exceptionally maintained. This has a hardy 400
cubic-inch V8, which gives you big block displacement in a small
block weight. It's believed to be the original motor, and the way
it fires up readily is another reminder of how well this one has
been treated. There's a two-speed transfer case to choose the right
kind of off road work, and the BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires
assures that you can keep going even when the pavement ends. But
this Suburban is the kind of pristine classic that doesn't need to
get muddy. That's why it's good for everyday driving with a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes with front discs. And don't forget that the Trailering
Special package was there to aid in fortification and cooling under
heavy loads, and you also have a 40-gallon gas tank. So road trips
are still easy in this classic.
Complete with title documentation, this is that perfect vintage
vehicle that can look good towing the toys or grab attention all on
its own. It's the turn-key classic that lets you spend more time
with your family and friends. Call now!
